*snort* if you were eating while dictating, an apology to the transcriptionist wouldn't hurt, too. ;) though I have to say, listening to someone eat is preferable to some of the other things we hear (like docs using the bathroom and not washing their hands ... or setting up affairs with same-gender escorts at local hotels ... yeah ...)

Naughty naughty. Whatever was that nurse thinking? That it would get eaten? Maybe, not by her? Maybe, she'd get to buy treats, think of eating treats, and yet not bring home the padding? But, couldn't you have left just one?

You are a bad man and shall doubtless come to a bad end. Of course, I can't say much since I ate chocolate silk pie for lunch, then a piece of cherry pie, and I haven't let anyone have any of the dark chocolate peanut M&Ms. I don't look forward to checking the scale in the morning.

Of course, if you can manage to sneak in some other chocolate... after all, it's going to be half price now so you can get better quality for the replacement.

you need to buy the ICU nurses PIZZA and a variety of chocolates. No cheap crap either. maybe then, they might forgive you.. and how's the xtra lbs added on? bet you weren't feeling so well. I bet Mrs Grumpy gave you a piece of her mind, too.

We have a doc that eats everything in sight and doesnt share or say thank you so we know to hide the goods and keep pot lucks a secret when hes working, there a few on this list and I think u have been added to the "Dr.Greedy Pig" list lol

Nice replacements, Dr. Grumpy. When I was dating my husband, he dropped by my house very stressed out. My mother had a pot of sauce with meatballs cooking on the stove. While telling us about his day, he absentmindedly ate almost every meatball in the pot. I'll never forget my father's face (mixture of amusement & horror). Not a way to impress your future MIL.
